What would you recommend for others with the same wi-fi problem that isn't caused by a panasonic phone? In the evening I lose signal all the time.

When I looked up the FCC rules of engagement, hoping to hamstring the ham, everything I read implied it was the phone's fault, not the ham's. I also read that leakage from cable modems can interfere with ham operations, so my secret wish was that I was inflicting megahertz on him as well. Anyhow, given that a laptop with built-in wireless seems to survive Panasonic's excessively-spread spectrum -- and also 'waving the popcorn -- life is now good. For us, anyhow. I wonder if that Panasonic phone knocks out the neighbor's Wi-Fi? Ahh, life in the 21st century RF neighborhood. /rich On Thu, 8 Jul 2004 10:46:36 -0400 (EDT), Doug Nelson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > This is one of the reasons I have stuck with a 900 MHz cordless phone, > rather than a 2.4 GHz. > > Next stop, 802.11a?
